Progress pictureI was off work most of this week due to a shoulder injury so I had Thursday pretty much to myself and except for a short trip to pick the boys up from school and a run through Wal-mart, I spent the day stiching and watching "How I met Your Mother"(will ted just hurry up and meet her ALREADY). I'm really happy with my progress. The chart is divided into two halves and I'm

Wizard Done!!It only took about an hour to backstitch and add the wording. You are supposed to attatch a needle to the wizards hand but the needle wasn't with the kit so I will have to dig one up, probably a petite needle. He sure is cute. I need to fuzz up his beard and slippers more but I like the whisper effect in both area's. I will finish him as a flat fold and put him on my book case or

UpdateYesterday I worked on Guinevere. I got all the metallic stitches done, got all the regular backstitching done, and then moved on to the metallic backstitching. I got all of the details at the bottom of her dress done before I ran out of the green braid so in order to finish her completely, it will require a trip to the XS store, which I don't have the money for at the moment. Once I get

Just needs backstitching and beads! I really dislike how Mira does some of her backstitching, up 2, over 4, it's hard to follow, and makes me frustrated so I stop working on it.Beads and Backstitching seem to be what holds me up on actually finishing projects!

Jasmine, started her in August but she was deceptive. It looked like an easy stitch but there is a lot of confetti and backstitching so that really slowed me down!

This is probably my oldest WIP. The beads that are spilling from her hands is what makes the piece. I hope to get there soon....

This was a class piece from Dragon Dreams on one of my trips to Toronto. All he needs is wording and back stitching. He is quite cute, sorry for the crappy picture. He uses whisper thread for his beard and bunny slippers, too cute!! I will finish as a flat fold and keep him on my dresser. He needs only about 2 hours max of work!

My most recent start, Autumn Fairy by Joan Elliott. I have gotten the biggest and hardest part out of the way, the wings, I may even start backstitching them now since that seems to slow me down a lot.

WIPocolypse!!I haven't blogged in forever, obviously but I like the idea of finishing up old Cross Stitch projects that are rolling around so I thought I would join in to the WIPocolypse craze! I finished a couple of really old projects last year and it felt really good. I don't have the time I used to to stitch but I do have some time and I'm committed to trying to step away from the computer,

Let Freedom Ring!!Friends, Family, Countrymen, lend me your ears! It's been a year since Sarah Land was declared a free and sovereign nation. It was signed into law on a crisp, sunny, fall afternoon, September 18 2008, by the honorable Joan Young. All old ties to the old land, Dictatorship Island, was severed with a meager division of property and assets.This was not accomplished without

Expectations=ResentmentsI've been in my support group now almost two years now(wow). It's based on the 12 steps of AA but instead of being powerless over alcohol, you are powerless over your emotions. There was/is a lot of good messages on how to live, have peace of mind and serenity no matter what is happening around you. Add in my ACIM class and the two sets of values have literally

I was supposed to sleep until Noon!!The last few days have been awful. OK, not completely awful but hard. Donovan has hard a rough time which means reaching out to X. I keep hoping at some point that we can interact differently. I often point fingers are him and all the things he is not doing, and there are lot, but I need to point the finger at myself.

A poemI have been doing daily inspirational readings and I have found myself, you guessed it, inspired by a lot of what I read. Most of it comes from my "A course in Miracles" book which is what has transformed my life so much. It is amazing to me each time I read it and it gives me such clarity and peace of mind. It has given me God. The feeling of peace I get when I read it and sometimes just

So I'm back....I think!!!I had someone recently ask about my blog and it got me thinking. I do an awful lot of journaling now and I find pen/paper a really effective way to work things out. On the other hand, I miss my blog. I pondered for awhile deleting my old one and starting over(too many not so great memories) but I chose not too. My goal is not to regret the past or shut the door on it

The Big D and I don't mean Dallas!Dh has asked for a divorce. He says he is unhappy, has been for awhile, feels no love or connection, doesn't want to try and is doing all he can to push me out the door as fast as he can. I guess I can't say much and probably won't be writing much, what can I really say? A month ago I thought I was happily married, was going to stayed married, and now I have

First Day of school!!Well, it's finally here, the first day of a new school year. The summer was good but frankly I'm glad to be back on track and starting to get back on a more normal schedule. We did many fun things this summer. We went to an air show(it was free), 2 civil war encampments/re-enactments(just had to pay to park), a Weird Al concert(the concert was free/had to pay to park), a

Forest Goddess, Designed by Nora Corbett, Copyright Mirabilia Designs And she is done!!! Hooray!! After nearly a year of work....I think she looks pretty good. Still not sure of the bead choice of the red ones but hey, they are on there now and not coming off anytime soon.I wish my fabric for Stargazer would get here but it has only been a couple of weeks so I need to show some more patience.

Ok, this looks so much better:Designed by Nora Corbet, Copyright Mirablilia DesignsI took out the nutmeg colored bugle beads and replaced them with the gold bugle beads and I think they looks so much better.

The beading has begun!I started beading my Forest Goddess this afternoon. This is just about 90 minutes of work:I'm not sure as I've gone along about my bead choices. I just need to make up my mind and get this done. I'm going to wait until Dh comes home tonight and have him take a look. The pictures I know don't do a good job of showing the true color of the beads, the eggplant purple ones they

UFO Friday Progress picturesI pulled out my UFO project a day early. The boys were home from school for end of term records day so I wasn't sure if I would have time to stitch. They are usually pretty good but you do have to keep an eye on them and I wanted to make sure I had time to interact with them too. I was able to do that and get some stitching in both days so I made *a lot* of progress:

"Forest Goddess" ready for beads and backstitching!!I'm very pleased with myself. I sat down this morning and made myself sit and work on FG until I was ready for backstitching and beading and I got it accomplished. It helped that the boys were back at school today so it was quiet in the house and I was able to get it done. Now to figure out the backstitching instructions(I hate them sometimes)

G is so looking forward to his birthday this weekend and I am to. It will be nice to have family here but I have to say I'm amazed that my baby is turning 7. Seemed like just yesterday he was a baby.....I just have to make the cake

Feeling none to happy at the moment...Dh called late this afternoon. I knew it probably wasn'' something so great since I had already talked to him once already that day. Rarely, if ever, do I hear from him twice in the day unless it's to tell me something I'm probably not going to like, and I was right. He got invited out tonight. His boss invited him to go to the Red Wings game, dinner before,

I fed nearly 600 people over the weekend.As predicted it was a very busy weekend. On Saturday was the spaghetti dinner for the ill Marine. We were able to get the dinner well publicized(it was on the local news) so we got a HUGE turnout. We had originally printed 300 tickets and ran out of those and we think we got about another 100 after that. Between admission price and the rafflesthey were

BRR....It's cold outside!!Yesterday afternoon I saw this out my front window:It has already been a really cold fall. The boys outgrew their mid-weight jackets and I was worried about getting them replaced but it seemed like they never needed them. They went straight to winter coats practically. The bus stop trips in the morning are so cold already and the afternoon trips aren't that much better.I

I just don't get the sibling thing!I often feel at a loss as a parent, especially boys. As a girl there are "guy" things I just don't get. I was prepared for that, what I wasn't prepared for is the "sibling rivalry".I have a sister but she is nearly 10 years older than I was. We never fought over toys or clothes or attention. When I was starting school, she was starting dating, when I started

Happy Saturday!!It's Saturday which means we survived another school/work week and made it through the evil Friday the 13th. I'm not particularly superstitious so I wasn't really worried about that. The week was really long for DH and feel bad for him about that. All the changes at work have made him really busy and he was at work early every day, and home late 4 out of the 5. He is even back

Wow!! Has it really been that long?I can't believe how long it's been since I've written here. In some ways it seems like just yesterday and at other times it seems like it's been much longer. I'd like to say I've been off doing fun things but sadly that has not been the case. Things aren't horrible but they haven't been great. So let's see if I can do a relatively quick update.Me- I've been sick

3 new kitty picturesAll of these were taken yesterday. She was in quite a mood and just all over the place, and played what seemed like non-stop.Here she is with our dog. I think Anna would like to be friends but Isis isn't so sure:Here she is on her way to sit on my lap at the computer(she is losing her kind of exotic looks as she fills out more):And here she is during her rare down time

The sun came out!!Finally the sun came out, the boys got to go ride their bikes and I can finally get to the computer with the camera software so here are the latest Isis pictures:Here is a picture of G with "his" sunflower. We were given the seed from his Kindergarten teacher as part of my mothers day gift. I planted it and was really surprised at how well it grew. It just finally opened today

8 days and counting....Over all we've had a pretty good summer and we are all adjusting to not having a basement for the boys to play in, mostly. The last few days have been a bit dreary, rainy and cool here in Michigan so the kids have been stuck in the house. In the old days they could burn off some of the extra energy in the basement or when they got to be too much I could go hide out there

Did you know....?That Calico cats aren't a breed? It's a color variation that can occur in any breed so you could have a Calico colored Siamese etc.Calico cats are almost always female. The orange color variation is carried on one X chromosome and the black carried on another X, so to have the two colors, you need two X's which mean female. Occasionally, 1 out of 3,000 can be male, but they are

And her name is ::drumroll please::Isis. It's a name we all agree on(mostly) and I figured the sooner we pick a name, the quicker we can teach it to her. I like it, it rolls off the tongue pretty well, and it is a bit different. She was bit more active last night. We got her to play with some little balls we had in the house as well as some string and stuff. She did eat and I discovered that she

Name, name, name, what to name her?So the name thing is still swirling today. In the lead is definitely Isis but I also like Min and Bastet but I think I finally figured out why it's so hard to chose. She's done nothing more than really sleep and snuggle(and I think she is took exotic looking for either of those names). I've never had a pet neutered so early, and I'm hoping it's just that, and

Ok, here are the pictures!!I love how her tail is all dark, except for the very tip which is a light biege color. It's also as long as her body!!The more I look the more I think she does look Egyptian. I think she looks like an Isis in this picture!A better look at the tip of her tail!G looking as happy as I've seen him in awhile. I think he missed the cats more than all of us.D with the kitty(

Maybe Ace(like a WWI pilot) is a good name for the kitten.....Because her feet have barely touched the ground since she has been here. She has pretty much roamed from lap to lap to lap. Even when you set her on the ground to give her a chance to maybe explore, she explored far enough to the next lap. When it was bedtime we weren't sure what to do with her but as soon as we laid down, up on the

And here she is:I retrieved her well before closing(4:37 to be exact), and they didn't take the $15 I dug out of the kids piggy banks which was nice.So far she is a little loopy from the surgery. She has the tiniest little scar on her tummy with like one 1/2 stitch in it. They also tattooed a little circle w/a line through it to indicate she has been spayed if she were ever to get out. I'm still

Ok, I'm going to rant a little!!When we were looking to adopt a cat we decided to go to the humane society to adopt her. We looked at a couple of rescue leagues first, and then a couple of other shelters but decided to go with the Detroit shelter of the Humane Society, for a couple of reasons. For one thing it was a lot closer via freeway then the suburban shelters and I figured out of all the

Two more sleep, I'm so excited!!!The other day was my anniversary. The boys were asking questions about our wedding and what we wore etc. I went on a hunt for our wedding pictures, which instead of being in an album, are stuffed in a box somewhere. Where the box was I wasn't sure. I finally found them in the laundry room, in a box, and mixed in were lots of other pictures, like vacations, visits

I'm here, just quiet!!Not a lot to report. Life has continued to move at a nice relaxed pace for the summer. The boys are having a blast on their bikes, I'm enjoying sleeping in a little and sitting on the porch watching them.Stephanie was gone for a week and it was really quiet around the house without her around, not to mention no card games. It's funny how quickly we all got used to having her

Clean bill of health!G was back to the dr's today for one more re-check. Honestly, if it had been my foot, I wouldn't of gone back, but since it was G's we went. We were there for all of 3 minutes because all she did was look at it, feel it, and that was it. She pronounced it completely infection free. My only concern is the vein that was infected is still red and visible but she assured me it

Doing a whole lot better...G is doing a whole lot better thankfully. I've had to slow him down a little though because when he is on his foot too much then it starts to swell so I've been trying to get him to rest it every couple of hours, which is tricky.here is how it looked yesterday mornig(August 1):And this morning(August 2):It's been so hot the last few days, as it is every where.

Back from the Dr's.The doctor says it looks like G's foot is on the mend and was pleased with the progress. We are to continue with the motrin to help with the remaining inflammation and benedryl if it continues to itch. He can play/walk on it if he wants but if he is resting, like watching TV, he should elevate his foot. We go back on Friday for one more check.She said probably what happened

We are off to the dr'sG's foot looks a lot better today, it's still really red though, but almost no swelling left and I was able to put a shoe on him as long as I didn't lace it. Here is what it looks like:I'm still a little nervous about what the dr might say. I'm hoping I can let him be on his foot some. Keepign him still has been really hard.It's going to be super hot and super humid today

Cellulitis was the diganosisMan, I hate being thrown for a loop and that has happened again without a lot of time to recover from each. We took G to the dr's yesterday and I knew that his foot was not good, and that it needed to be looked at, I was really thrown for a loop when I found out just how bad it really was. He was offically diagnosed with cellulitis and the dr was very close to just

Another trip to the dr's...G is a mosquito magnet. He used to get them alot, where as D hardly ever gets them. A couple of summers ago I noticed that G was having a not so great reaction to them. He got one on his face and his poor face swelled up, not horribly bad, but enough. I think it might of been the combination of his body's reaction and itching them with not always the cleanest of

Dh's work party!!Is tonight, they moved it early in the week from Thrusday to tonight. I so don't want to go considering what I went through yesterday. I didn't sleep well last night, we lost power for awhile and the sudden loss of the cooling breeze from the fan at 3amish woke up me and I never really went back to sleep so I'm dead tired to begin with. I also, no matter how hard I tried,

Meepers is gone.....Dh came home, took a good look at Meepers tummy, looked really closely at the wound that he had licked open today and just gave me a look. I knew what he was thinking. I tried talking with DH about it, telling I'd do a better job covering it and in a couple of days it would look better etc. but I knew it wasn't the truth. Oh sure, that spot might get better, but over all

My heart is aching!!My kitty Meepers, even with recently peeing on the living room floor, is my baby. No two ways about it. He is the adorable ball of orange and white fluff that just loves nothing more than to cuddle or to lick your forehead. He has been my baby for nearly 17 years when DH brought him home a few months after my mom passed away. He was my *saving* grace when I grieved for her. Up

You don't even have to know how to play, just stand on the ice, take a place, while someone rests. It will be a blast!!!Love,your SILYes, folks they are so short handed tonight for hockey that

I've cleaned the previous spots, with the special enzymatic cleaner to remove the smell(and to me it doesn't smell like cat urine any more), but still he seems to come back to the same general area.

I night without the kids and it happened so fast I didn't' have time to worry!DH called yesterday afternoon and said Steph wanted us to go out with her last night but I gave him a bunch of excuses, I was too tired, too sore etc. He said fine. When Steph came home though she was kind of insistent, she said I needed to get out, we would have fun, she'd but us a couple of rounds, and we should go.

I've spent the morning, slowly cause that is the only speed I have at the moment, cleaning the house and finally getting the dishes done from Wednesday night. I still have a lot to go and all I want to do is nap. I do have to say so far this is the one

Well, I made it thru the day!I'm feeling slightly better now. I'm still not hungry or have eaten but I have kept down a couple of glasses of water. I was able to nap for a couple of hours and then took a nice long cool shower. I went to pick up the boys but my MIL insisted a stay for awhile. It was a good idea. It was nice to sit and have the boys watched over by someone else.The grandparents did

Thank god for Grandma's!!Last night was Wednesday night BBQ night. We had a BLAST. We ate, our friend Scott came over, Steph had a friend from work over and we laughed, talked, ate, played air hockey etc. I had a couple of drinks, and by a couple I mean 3, two beers and then a Ruby Red Grapefruit juice mixed with Ruby Red Absolut Vodka. I went to bed feeling pleasantly buzzed, not overly drunk,

I worried about the kids but they are having a blast and Steph invited them down to play her Nintendo last night after dinner. I worried that the dog would bark every time she moved or went outside but except for being really excited to see her and being overly

A grump about my DH.Yes, I love him, yes, i'm still happily married, yes, he's a great father, yes, he's a good man, but at times I just want to throttle him!! I hate the way he handles things, and at the moment the way he has handled one particular thing. I'm so mad at not only the handling but that I had to find out about it from someone else. We are now is such a pickle it's not even funny

We survived the first weekend.Well we have made it through the first weekend of Steph living here with only one minor mishap. She hung her hockey bag on the door to the laundry room, where there is also the litter box, and poor Meepers couldn't get to the box last night.

Steph is all moved in!I was not happy to discover that we not only had to get the house ready for her to move to but help with the actual moving process. I guess the phrase "real friends help you move" is true because she had some people lined up but then they all backed out at the last minute. She did offer us gas money, beer and pizza so it wasn't all bad. DH's brother and SIL came and helped

Dh is taking the day off!!Yesterday I told DH that I was just plain wiped out and that I really needed a hand getting the rest of the basement in order. I don't mean to sound like a wimp but I feel like I've done an *awful* lot in the last month. I've basically cleaned the entire first floor along with cleaning out every closet, I absorbed an entire floor of stuff into other areas of our house

Small doesn't mean easy!!I thought that the bathroom in the basement would but such a quick project since it's such a small space. I was wrong about that!! It took all weekend and then some to get it done. The walls were such a dark color and we decided to lighten them up so that required a coat of primer plus two coats of paint. With a small bathroom that meant a lot of bending and stooping and

Well, that didn't take longI feel kind of silly now saying I was going to be off line awhile longer when Dh came home and between the two of us we got my old sewing table moved from the basement and my computer set up in our bedroom by 10pm last night. I was able to clear out a corner and while it's not ideal, it will work for awhile. I think DH was feeling a bit disconnected from the world too

Back online for just a few minutes.We have just 9 days until Steph will be here full time so we've been in full out move everything mode. She is going on a trip with her mom, who is here from Florida, over the weekend so she is trying to do as much as she can before she leaves since she will have to little time when she returns. Our basement is currently a mish mash of her stuff and our stuff. We

Now I'm confused!D's temp was definitely up last night. DH even bought an oral digital thermometer on his way home from lodge and it was above 100 on that thermometer as well as the ear thermometer(the ear one gave a slightly higher reading). I gave him a motrin at about 8pm, he went to bed early, slept nearly 12 hours, got up, said he felt great, ate a huge breakfast, and his temp was completely

His temp is back up to nearly 101.This has got to be the most stubborn case of strep throat I've ever seen. It took D a couple of days to respond to the new antibiotic and he really took it easy on Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning he said he felt awesome when he woke up and spent most of the day riding his bike with the little boy down the street. This morning he wasn't quite as energentic and

The house is very quiet today!D woke up this morning and told me he felt awesome and was glad that he was no longer sick. He said it felt like he had been sick forever. After a big breakfast he headed out the door as early as I would allow him and he's been down the block pretty much since 8am. There is a nice little boy who comes to stay with his Grandma now and then and he is there today and

He's doing a lot better today!!D woke up this morning just like his old self and you can tell he is feeling so much better. He hates the new antibiotic because it doesn't taste as good as the Amoxicillin but he only has to take it twice a day. His temp remains normal since yesterday afternoon, and he says he doesn't have a headache today, so hopefully this will kick it. He also had a really

We finally found the antibiotic and Yeah!! for CVS!Dh first went to Costco for the prescription in hopes of getting a good price. They wanted $80 for the name brand version and didn't have the generic. The second stop didn't have either in stock so he went to our local CVS. They had the generic but they wanted close to $80 for it. Dh pointed out that he could pay that for the *name* brand at

It's still Strep...We had a really fitful night last night. D's temp spiked again to over 103 and was tough to bring down. He was up a lot which meant I was up with him, as was DH, but even time he moved I swear I woke up. I got really scared because he said his throat is fine but his head hurt so bad. In my mind bad headache + high fever = somehting bad. According to the Dr though a

Sicker than I thoughtD was looking bad again this afternoon. He took a nap but I couldn't convince him to eat. I was working on some things in the basement when he came down crying that his head hurt so band and that his eyes were stinging. He looked pink cheeked and glassy eyed again so I took his temp and it was nearly 100. I called my dr's office and they want to see him again, just to make

We're sick! Again, what a surprise!Not with Strep throat thank goodness but another nasty cold. I feel so bad for D because first he got the cold I had Memorial weekend, then boom got hit with the strep throat,felt better for a day and then boom, cold time. Dh is also pretty bad since it's incredibly painful to cough and/or sneeze with his ribs hurting. The only one remaining standing is G. He's

What can I have stitched by July 7?My SIL(my Dh's sister) announced yesterday that she is going to marry her boyfriend on July 7th. It's going to be a small civil ceremony and there isn't a lot of room for family so we will be spared that, but there will be a reception afterwards at my MIL house. I need to call my MIL sometime today to see what kind of help she needs.I'd liked to say hooray!! But

Fever free!!D woke up this morning fever free and saying he felt pretty good. He looks so much better and is in a much better mood. We got home early enough from the Dr's that I was able to get two doses of the antibiotic in him before bed so that is why he feels so good this morning. All I can say is thank god for modern medicine. I can't imagine what it was like before antibiotics when all you

From a little sick, to really sick, in about 3 hours time.D did pretty well most of the morning. He ate, he watched some TV and his temp remained pretty normal for awhile. About noon it spiked again, back over 103 according to the ear thermometer(and remind me to buy a real one cause I don't always trust those readings). He seemed really sick at that point and looked just horrid, all pink cheeked

Illness, injury, and a long weekend.The weekend started out Ok. Friday was good, DH had a good time at clinic, I enjoyed watching a movie, and we had a couple of hours together after he got home from clinic.Then Saturday D woke up in the worst mood. He was cranky most of the day but did better when early afternoon we went to my MIL house for my SIL's 40th birthday party. He ate well, had cake/ice

Did I do a 180?I've been thinking about something that Lori said in the comments about me changing my feelings about hockey and Steph and it's been rumbling around my brain on/off for awhile.I did change my feelings, was it drastic, or fast? It didn't seem that way to me. I think I realized that no matter how much I pissed, whined and moaned, it didn't change anything. DH was still going to play

My Greek Salad RecipeYesterday someone asked for my pasta Greek salad recipe. It was really easy. I basically boiled a box of Rotini pasta, rinsed in cold water and drained really well when it was done. I then put it in a large bowl, added coarsely chopped cucumbers, red onion, black olives, and crumbled feta cheese to it(add as much or as little as you like). I mixed in about 3/4 of a bottle of

Feeling introspective today!I don't know what it is today but I find myself feeling very introspective today and in turn feeling a bit lonely.I was watching GMA this morning and they did a story with a guy and he was giving "red flags" to look for when dating and how to spot a "bad boy". #1 red flag was lack of long term friendships. He said this is a sign that when people really get to know

Feeling better!!Not only has the weather broken but so did my cold. I woke up this morning being able to breathe and except for just a little congestion I'm feeling much better. It's only going to be in the 70's for the next few days and I'm thankful for that. That heat was just horrible!Last night turned out to be a lot of fun and I'm glad that DH once again insisted that we not cancel. We

Feeling better today!My cold is doing much better today. Dh took pity on me and the whole house when he came home last night and realized that it was 88 inside. We were just melting and so he turned on the A/C. I know he didn't want to but it was pretty miserable even with the fans going. We keep the temp pretty high, about 80ish, but it was enough to get the humidity out of the house, cool it a

I don't do illegal drugs, never had, but yet thanks to those who do, I'm suffered most of the weekend.I watched with interest as a law was passed that made it so a safe, legal and effective, decongestant, had to be put behind the counter, signed for and dispensed by a pharmacist, because certain

I hate Dh's job!!I was talking this morning about my planned trip to the bead store by myself tomorrow to celebrate my birthday since I already got my "main" gift of the concert from DH. I was also kind of asking if we had about $20 bucks to spend on me. I saw him make the face. Great! He then launched in to "I was going to tell you speech..."

The way it soothes my frayed nerves, the way his voice gives me chills? The concert once again re-awakened my love for him. Dh just rolls his eyes at me....It also helps that there seems to be a new

It's been a month!!Wow! A whole month without a blog entry. My life is really that boring that there hasn't been anything that exciting to report. Let's see if I can think of a few things recently:D is still doing excellent in school. He got another 24 out of 24 right on a spelling test this week. He also got the highest score in his class on a story he had to write. It was graded not only on

Another cold soreMy body continues to send me messages that I really need to stop worrying so much and *relax*. I woke up yesterday with a little tingle on my lip and by bedtime it was a full blown cold sore. At least this time it's on my bottom lip instead of my top one so it's different. This will be my third one in just a couple of months. I'm prone to them, but I've never had this many in a

I'm here!!I'm still around, just busy with my boys. Last week was Spring Break. One of the things I love about Easter in April is that usually have really great weather for spring break(unlike in March when it's really hit or miss). We were blessed with glorious spring weather, warm, sunny and mild, just about every day they were off. It was great to throw open all the windows and play out in the

Happy Spring Break!!My boys are off on spring break this week. Thankfully the weather has been nice and they have been getting out to play an awful lot. The Easter Bunny was smart and brought them a basketball and a soccer ball so they have things to keep them entertained while they are out there.

My eyes are still killing me!I had hoped with a full day of antibiotic eye drops in us yesterday, we would all wake up feeling pretty good. That was not the case. D and I seem to have gotten the worse of the Pink Eye and both of us are still pretty uncomfortable. He was complaining of them still burning, itchy, and not feeling well.

GRRR...More illness!!!We cannot seem to get well and stay well. I was hoping we could make it until spring break where we could all get a chance to recoup and the kids can get away from the petri dish that is the school. No, such luck.We've all been fighting a bit of a cold. I had a bit of a sore throat with mine but it wasn't horrible. D was complaining of the same thing over the weekend but
